Agulcr, Kaahuand Cunningham, reported that theyhad seen an experienced sugar manand that ho had advised them to standtogether; make It clear to themselvesjust what they wanted; then securetho services of a competent attorneywho could frame a counter proposition In tho way of contract and advise them as to how host to cce Itthrough. It was simply a matter ofa business deal and the Makeo SugarCo. would lie amenable to roasonhacked by pressure which they couldrespect.There was some considerable discussion as to tho advisability of sending this committee to Honolulu to confer with tho Governor in tho matter,but it was finally 'decided to let thematter stand until ho came to Kauai,which, it was understood, ' would bewithin ten days or so.The situation, in a nut shell is this:Tho present contracts are, in a way,experimental short term ones, tentatively entered into to see how thingswould work out. Theso new contractsare for new planters, and they alonoare directly involved, but this newcontract form will probably becomethe permanent standard ono whichwill supplant that now in force.Under tho present contracts tho milltakes the cane, loaded on the cars inthe field, whereas tho proposed newcontract stipulates that the cane bedelivered by tho planter on tho maintrack this, tho planters claim is anadditional burden imposed on them, offrom 30 cents to $2 a ton of cane, orfrom $2.70 to $1S a ton of sugar, whichvery materially skims off any creamthat tho homesteader micht havecoming to him.There is also an "act of God" clausein the now contract, which protects thecompany from damage suits in caseof serious injury to the mill by fire,earthquake, flood, etc., which may prevent tho mill from manufacturing the..no of tho planters. The homesteaders object to this clause. This, however Is not a very serious objectionTiieKoala Caseludge Dickey, of (he CircuitCourt, has received a plea in barfrom the attorneys of (Jay & Robinson, defendants in the Koulawater suit, which is now beforethat Court. This plea sets forththai (hey have perfectly valid andperfect title to the Koula land andwater in a Royal Patent issued in1S77 and based on Mahele AwardNo. ;",The attorneys arrived thismorning with the documents pertaining to the case, and the lirsthearing before the Court is now onas we go to pi-ess.

This will call forabout 3 1-2 miles of expensive pipe aswell as the acquisition of tho waterrequired from the Gay and Robinsoninterests, which may mean a gooddeal of money. The Board of Supervisors aro somewhat reluctant tospend any considerable amount ofpublic money unless It is necessary.If this plan is carried out it willsolve the problem of the Kokee summer camp sanitation, as Waimea willmen not care what the summercampers do with their dead goats andtheir waste water.How much of this agitation is abona fide anxiety on the part of Walmea, and how much is tho result ofBoard of Health propaganda is noteyldent.Director of IndustrialTraining Visits KauaiMr. Kenneth C.
